Craigy-Nos as a Wedding Gift.
New Orleans Times Democrat
In an interview with Nine. Carlo Patti,
yesterday, some very interesting facts
were cleaned in regard to the lovely prima
donna, Patti Ncolini, as she loves to call
herself, as well as further Information
concerning her plans for the little New
Orleans niece, who has so recently had a
fairy-like future opened.
1t seems that while Adelina was at the
St. Charles hotel she took all the Deces-
sary steps for securing pretty daughter.
A notary public was sent for and papers
drawn up establishing her legal right to
the little Carlina. she has formally
adopted her brother Carlos child, max
ing her, as far as law is concerned, her
own. In this document she states that
from this time forth she, Adelina, is re-
sponsible for the young cir IS future.
To the mother, who for her daughters
own welfare is giving her own child up,
Nine. Patti gives every assurance OF her
tender and loving care. She said that no
expense should be spared to make
Carina cultivated, brilliant woman. Al
ready an accomplished lady Is engaged to
travel with the party as eoverness for the
young lady. She will have masters to
finish her in the languages and music.
"But as for singing" SAID the cele-
brated cantatrice, turning a pstting her
niece affectionately on the shoulder,
"that shall attend to myself intend,
| if you develop voice, to allow no one
to train it save myself. Won't we have d
good time, too, at Crsig-y-nos, warbling
like two birds together2"
There is one point, however, on which
| Nine. Patti insists, and that is that Carli-
ma shall give no thought to the stage. In
fact, she has stated positively that except
with the greatest men and women of the
profession her niece should have no inter-
course. Possibly she tears the strong
strain of artistic blood that must course
through the young girls veins.
Another subject on which the diva
spoke emphatically was that Carlina
should never be forced into a mercenary
marriage. Her own painful experience
with her arts ocratic and titled husband,
the Marquis de Caux, would teach her to
guard this newly acquired daughter
against such dangerous shoals. The
maiden is to be allowed to choose man
after her own heart, no pressure to be
brought to bear save for her own good.
When the young heiress is won, her
gracious aunt intends bestowing as q
regal dover the beautiful Welsh castle,
"Craig-y-nos," to the bride. Who can
say in the face OF this that one castle in
Wales does not far outweigh half dozen
airy establishments in Spain?
Nine. Patti, in speaking of herself, said
that now she had a whole promising,
fiourisbing family. Her husband, Senior
Nicolini, has four children-two daugh-
tiers who are satisfactorily married, one
son in the French army, and another who
gives great promise in the Coincide
Francois. These are both handsome,
stalwart young fellows, who adore their
lovely little stepmother, being as ahj'ct
slaves of her caprice as the thousands
who have known no greater delight than
to lay their hearts and fortunes at he1
disdainful feet.
Yesterday when the pretty little Italian
girl went to the Locquet- Leroy Institute
to tell her teachers and schoolmates of the
great good fortune that lay before her,
she laughed and cried by turns. Throw
ing her arEs about Miss Noises neck,
she said of course she was glad and happy,
but the tears came from gros ceur she
could not overcome. She has been ia
vorite with all her associates for the
sweet, winning ways that were her great
est attraction. And when she produced
the four dozen big photographs her aunt
had ordered taken, there there were many
who begged earnestly for one.
The mother, who mas so bravely sur
rendered her precious and only child for
the good that will ultimately come, will
go to Europe later, and already the
mother and daughter are laying charming
plans for the long days they will pass to-
gether in the far away Welsh pslsce.
